So I came across this gaming PC and from what I see it seems really good but I don't want to be duped for my lack of PC or computer knowledge.
http://m.ebay.ca/itm/AMD-Quad-Core-Gaming-PC-Computer-4-0GHz-16GB-2TB-New-Custom-Built-Desktop-System-/272289012068?nav=SEARCH

Can someone check out its specs and give me an idea of wether or not it will be suitable to run league of legends without any issues on maxed settings and similar games like heroes of the storm or world of Warcraft. Also if it's good for clean streaming and downloading for movies and music and use for twitch and voice chat etc. I'm trying to get a gaming PC for under $800 and I know building the PC myself would be better but I don't want to let my lack of experience and knowledge on computers cause a mishap on building a PC and making mistakes.

Also if anyone can link any good gaming headsets, mouse, keyboards I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks! :)

Here is the build I mentioned.
if you take out the price of the peripherals, it comes to about $750 CAD for the PC.
Factoring in Windows and building, it will come out to around $900 if my estimates are anything.
If you want to stream, you'll need at the VERY LEAST an i5, although an i7 would definitely be the recommended CPU for streaming and gaming at the same time, although for just LoL as long as you use an ethernet connection you should be fine with an i5.

Unfortunately, an i5 is not possible with the price range you have listed, so that's a big compromise imo, hence why I recommend against you buying in this price range.

I personally think that you're much better off waiting until you have a budget of around 1k CAD, because...

It is not worth it. As far as I can see it uses an integrated graphics which is really bad for a gaming pc. As for the processor there is not much info. Only A10 and not specifically so I wouldn't get much hope for this computer. RAM and storage is fine.

Terrible value.
Here is an i5 RX 480 build sticking as close to your budget as possible while allowing for building and windows costs.
Edit: Just realized you meant CAD! :eek: working on another build.

Some good headsets are the Hyper X Cloud II or Cloud Revolver, which is the latest version. Both offer great sound for the price.
The keyboard and mouse I've also added, Cherry MX Blues are a great entry to the mechanical keyboard scene, and the Deathadder Chroma is a great mouse in my use.

Still not very good value. Not worth investing into older generations of CPUs unless you get a great deal.
That isn't one such deal.
You're much better to put together a bunch of parts like the list i've compiled.
EDIT: Also OP is building in CAD for a start! :)
He didn't make it very clear, but just thought i'd let you know.

I personally think that you're much better off waiting until you have a budget of around 1k CAD, because that's where the best value components are in the i5 6500, but i've still listed the PC below if you're interested.
If you only want to play League maxed at 60fps 1080p however, this build is great for you, although it is the absolute max the CPU can handle, meaning that you'll want to upgrade to an i5 if you want to get a better GPU or crossfire in future.
I would like to add that if I compromised on peripherals, I could add MUCH MORE to your build, like the i5 I mentioned above.
Let me know if this is something you would be willing to do, and what your absolute max budget is with peripherals.

For the extra hundred bucks you get much more value with the i5 6500, removing the slight bottleneck present with the i3.
Save up please! I beg you! :)
